( ᾿Çëßáò , in Maccabees, elsewhere and in N.T. ᾿Çëßáò , Vulg. Elias, but in Cod. Amiat. Helias), the Graecized form in which the name of ELIJAH SEE ELIJAH (q.v.) is given in the A.V. of the Apocrypha and N.T. (Sir_48:1; Sir_48:4; Sir_48:12; 1Ma_2:58; Mat_11:14; Mat_16:14; Mat_17:3-4; Mat_17:10-12; Mat_27:47; Mat_27:49; Mar_6:15; Mar_8:28; Mar_9:4-5; Mar_9:11-13; Mar_15:35-36; Luk_1:17; Luk_4:25-26; Luk_9:8; Luk_9:19; Luk_9:30; Luk_9:33; Luk_9:54; Joh_1:21; Joh_1:25; Rom_11:2; Jam_1:17). In Rom_11:2, the reference is not to the prophet, but to the portion of Scripture designated by his name, the words being ἐí ᾿Çëéᾷ ; "in Elias," not as in A.V. "of Elias." — Smith, s.v.
